Πάλι ν-εβγήκαν στο χορό

Listen

Lyrics

Again they entered in the dance, four eyes as dark as olives,
four eyes that weave like shuttle through the hearts they break in pieces.

I’ll sing a song for you, my love, that you will hear with pleasure:
You have an angel’s figure and a waist that’s trim and slender.

How well you suited one another, a perfect match together,
no different to those cypress cones that lie about the garden.

Now, take that dandy waistcoat off and dance without encumbrance,
and set the pace for you and her whose eyes are dark as olives.

Translated by John Leatham

Original Lyrics

Πάλι ν-εβγήκαν στο χορό

Πάλι ν-εβγήκαν στο χορό τέσσερα μαύρα μάτια
που σαϊτεύουν τις καρδιές, τις κάνουνε κομμάτια.

Ένα τραγούδι θα σου ’πω, πουλί μου να σ’ αρέσει
πόχεις αγγελικό κορμί και δαχτυλίδι μέση.

Όμορφα που ταιριάξατε τα δυο σας ένα μπόι
σαν τα κυπαρισσόμηλα πού ’ναι στο περιβόλι.

Βγάλε το γελεκάκι σου και χόρεψε γιομάτα
και χόρεψέ την καλά αυτήν τη μαυρομάτα.
